So, grab a good drink and come listen to different perspectives as we see what sticks for you.   [00:00:21.580] - Brooke Welcome to Rich In Differences and this is Brooke your host. I have with us Janice Chaka as our guest speaker for today. She's giving me the thumbs up because I actually got the name right.   [00:00:33.500] - Janice Yes you did. Nailed it as I said you would.   [00:00:37.060] - Brooke Thank you. Thank you. So Janice has a podcast called The Traveling Introvert. Could you tell us a little about your podcast. And how long you've been doing it.   [00:00:45.640] - Janice I have been doing it two years. Just I think it's time around now because something came up and I was like, oh it's it's been two years and a little bit about it. It started off, It's basically me ranting into the void for five minutes about whatever might have popped up in my life. Normally it's either HR related, travel related, or like running your business related. One of those three topics but super, simple, quick. People have said it's like having a quick coffee chat or like over the water cooler complain with me.   [00:01:16.990] - Brooke I could see that. Would you call yourself an introvert?   [00:01:19.420] - Janice Most definitely. I'm actually dreading the fact that when this comes out won't happened but I've got a conference coming up where normally I can go in and out of the conference and take breaks and they tell me "No actually we're going to livestream it. So no one can go anywhere."   [00:01:32.410] - Brooke  Oh no.   [00:01:36.300] - Janice Yeah.   [00:01:37.660] - Brooke Outside your comfort zone?   [00:01:38.970] - Janice  Oh yeah.   [00:01:43.330] - Brooke So is your podcast the same as it was when you first started or did it evolve over time?   [00:01:48.760] - Janice I like to say it has evolved as I have grown as a podcaster. However, yes we've got a tagline on the end that's slightly different and that's changed as I've pivoted in my business. I now get people who write in and ask me questions that I get to answer on the podcast. So that's changed. Apart from that it's still basically therapy and me venting into the void.   [00:02:14.830] - Brooke That's probably why so many people relate to it! I will be honest, that's what I'm looking forward too, I'm looking forward to getting people's responses and being able to answer their questions as well. So that must help with material and content creation?   [00:02:29.460] - Janice It does and then stuff just pops up every day and then your like, "oh I didn't see that coming". Well I'm gonna I'm going to talk about that. There's a podcast in that. Now my partners got to the point where they're like "Oh this thing happened. Your going to podcast about this arent you?"   [00:02:41.770] - Brooke Do you keep notes on your phone of all the different things that come up?   [00:02:45.970] - Janice Yeah normally. So I have a friend who I have an ongoing WhatsApp voice conversation with.   [00:02:51.480] - Brooke OK.   [00:02:52.130] - Janice So I will message her. Just because I'm better with audio, so it's saved and then I might make a note. I have a project management thing that I use and so I have a list of episodes. I could write "talk about so and so" and it will go in there. To answer your question, yes. Always have a place where you have notes because ideas and stuff come up randomly so you should have one single place where you always put the stuff.   [00:03:15.160] - Brooke I think mine's just notes on my phone, and it always happens and I'm driving too. So it's the safest time for me to be making notes in my phone.   [00:03:21.500] - Janice Voice memos, voice memos rule.   [00:03:26.860] - Brooke  Yes. So what would you say has been the number one reason your podcast has been a success.   [00:03:33.660] - Janice Wait my podcast is successful?   [00:03:35.220] - Brooke I would say so. Come on now, if you have people coming in with questions, I would say it's somewhat successful.   [00:03:43.240] - Janice Well I'll tell you what for the first three months I didn't tell anyone it existed, it was just for friends. Why is my podcast successful? I think it is because what you listen to is kind of what you get. It's also like when people coach with me I'm very much like if you want sunshine and flowers and unicorns. I'm not that person. Here's my podcast, this is what it sounds like, this is what you get. If you don't like it, now's not the time to sign up. I think it's been successful because a couple of things happened one I went to podcast movement and Glass box were running this competition and I won the competition and so I got free advertising for a week. That helped.   [00:04:20.320] - Brooke Oh wow that is awesome.   [00:04:23.030] - Janice Yeah thanks. Glass box.   [00:04:24.320] - Brooke Yeah.   [00:04:25.720] - Janice So now I use them religiously. I also think I've gotten better at telling people. I have a bag, a swag bag that I walk around with and so people are like well (the Traveling Introvert) that's an oxymoron. Introverts don't travel and then I have to go and school them and then we come back and listen to the podcast.   [00:04:41.800] - Brooke Aww nice, that's clever.   [00:04:47.430] - Janice Yeah I don't know, people seem to like it. Thank you people I appreciate you. It's real, it's just me and I think people get value from it.   [00:04:55.390] - Brooke Yeah, I could see that totally. So when we first talk you mentioned the concept of pod fade which is something I actually had never heard of. So I imagine if I've never heard of it others have probably not heard of it either. So would you care to describe what pod fade is?   [00:05:11.290] - Janice Oh I wish I had the dictionary definition. I'm sure Urban Dictionary has this somewhere but basically when your podcast starts you're all excited and you pump out a bunch of episodes and then life happens. And you slam into that like a truck. And you're scared to sort of get back on the horse again. And so there's maybe seven to ten episodes out there, something happens and then you stop podcasting and now you've taken a break. You're scared to go back because you think your listeners will be mad at you or you get overwhelmed or whatever it is.   [00:05:40.570] - Janice  And then you stop podcasting and there's some statistics with Anchor and with Libsyn. Anchor is a free site that you can use, I think over 64 percent stop after seven episodes and then with Libsyn I think it's a huge percentage. So if you go and look and I choose for example Itunes is which is the graveyard of podcasts you'll see a lot that are still new and noteworthy but haven't actually done anything for the past year.   [00:06:07.750] - Brooke That's weird.   [00:06:09.790] - Janice They say their working on that. So it might be fixed but it's been an ongoing process. Because people are like "I want to be on new and noteworthy" and the rest of us are like no it's not a thing.   [00:06:19.750] - Brooke Yeah ok. So if someone wanted to start a podcast what would you recommend in order for them to avoid the pod fade?   [00:06:29.290] - Janice  One thing? Because I could go on about this.   [00:06:31.600] - Brooke I mean you can give as many tips as you want, I am listening. Right here.   [00:06:39.280] - Janice Most people who start it might deal with their business, some people start as a hobby and that's that's awesome because then you're just rambling on about Game of Thrones or whatever it is that you're doing and your goal is much easier if you're doing it as a hobby. If you're doing it with regards to your business your business goals and your podcast goals should intersect in some way shape or form. Or why are you doing it? With those goals they should be a way to measure them. Make sure to measure. We all forget about the smart goal thing all of the sudden when we become podcasters "I want listeners" and that's not a goal. I mean it can be a goal but that shouldn't be what it is. Can we have someone email you and ask you a question? It doesn't have to be a huge audacious goal. It could just be someone's listened to me and I've provided value and so they've felt compelled enough to get out their phone and actually sent me an email like that takes more effort, that's more than a ticking like or follow that's actual commitment. Keep it whatever works with you, I was super stoked when someone emailed me. It's like someone actually listened to me and they e-mailed me from the other side of the world, because that's the other thing people forget anyone can listen to you anywhere. So we tend to make a podcast very focused in a specific geographical area and you don't have control of that. You can't be like only people in the US can listen to your stuff or only people in the UK.   [00:07:54.750] - Janice Yes to stop pod fade make sure that it fits in with your lifestyle not the other way around. Most people will find that their podcast take over their life with editing or social media and all that good stuff. So beforehand do an intro or test episode where you fiddle with everything and figure out what works. Figure out: how you want your sound to be, whether you want music in between, jingles, intros, outros, how long all of that takes, how long the editing, takes how long your social media takes, and then you'll know exactly how long each episode is gonna take you and then you look back at your life and your calendar and your like. Uhh. And don't do that "I'm gonna make it work" thing because that doesn't leave room for error, children, hurricanes, life, getting a new job because that sucks you up for 90 days too.   [00:08:37.840] - Janice And the systems and workflows write down everything that you do. It can change over time. But when you're recording, OK I have to switch this on, this toggle has to be this setting, I need to check all of these things to make sure it all works. When you have it all written down there's less decision making for you to do and less time for your brain to be like. I don't know. I'm confused. So workflows systems automate as much as you can. Don't go and try and be on every single social media platform. Pick one, do that for six months and get it down, get it automated get a system then move on to the next one. We have enough hats on as it is as podcasters. But the main thing is the goals. Because if those two don't work and then you come back six months I was like Well I don't have 18 million followers how do I get more followers. And it's not necessarily the amount of followers you have it's how engaged they are and how invested they feel in the podcast.   [00:09:27.490] - Brooke All right then that was a lot. I liked all of that. I'm going to have to go back and write all these down when my microphone can't pick it up. All right. So if someone wanted to start a podcast where would you recommend they start?   [00:09:45.340] - Janice All right so there's two schools of thought here. Obviously I'm going to say you should come and join my podcast group. That is what I should say.   [00:09:53.080] - Brooke Yeah.   [00:09:53.200] - Janice That's the "get your podcast started" group on Facebook and now on Facebook you can personalize it so you literally just look for "get your podcast started" groups and it will magically appear. A lot of people go with Pat Flynn because he is the O.G. of podcasting and he has a course and it's all free and it's all him. But he also has a huge team behind him, and production, and money. Not everyone has that luxury. Try and go with someone who is in line with what you're doing or has done what you've done and it's just a little bit ahead of you. Not like all the way up ahead of you so they're making the same mistakes that you have made and it's in recent memory rather than oh I did this thing like five years ago when I talked to the president of X Y and Z.   [00:10:32.150] - Brooke I like that. Then it's a great piece of advice. Getting someone who's just a little ahead of you. So they do remember what you're going through because sometimes I do feel like a lot of people who are veterans do forget. And then they have great advice but the advice is for where they're at. It's not for where a new person is at and I feel like that's easily forgotten sometimes. What is the one thing you wish you knew when you first started running a business?   [00:11:00.830] - Janice I suppose to be prepared for this and I thought about it and there's so many things. The biggest, biggest, biggest thing and I'm not really a huge mindset believer but we go through our lives starting at school, and we get told what to do. WeSome of us go through university, we get told what to do. We have a job, we get told what to do. But if you're a business owner yes you have clients who tell you what to do. But you actually have the power to tell them no. No that's not how that works. And we forget this and we feel beholden to the paycheck the money that oh they're gonna ruin my reputation and all these other things but I wish that earlier on in my business career in my life I realized that I could push back and I could say no. And it's almost a self worth thing. Because you're scared to say no to the money, you're normally in such a stage where you want the money and so you say yes to everything and that ruins you quicker than anything else because then you're not happy when you're working and that's one of the things you want to be. I mean you don't want to be over the moon happy but you want to be okay working. So when becoming your own boss and treating your business like a business remember: you are the CEO, you're the strategist behind your business.   [00:12:03.800] - Brooke Absolutely. So what is one fear or thought that keeps coming up for you as a business owner?   [00:12:09.050] - Janice We kind of talked about this earlier, my newsletter. Not my zone of genius. I have a list. Technically I have a list for my podcast as well and that's a whole other thing. I know kind of what I want to write but part of me is like how personal do I want to get? Because I don't, I'm a very private human being. But people keep going on about the no trust thing it's like how much is too much and how much is too little? How often to write. Because I committed to messaging every Thursday and I committed to doing a rolling stock of different topics but right now I'm really focusing on this one topic. So all I want to do is write about this one topic. Do you guys mind? So I'm getting feedback because sometimes as often as you might be asked hey click this link or this link some people just read the email and don't respond to you or give you feedback. And as business owners we want to get better and we want to do stuff that works for you. But if you don't tell us and communicate with us we're not gonna do it. So every time I get a feedback form from any company that they specifically like ask "hey Janice we want you to give feedback". I will do it because that's what I would want as a business owner.   [00:13:10.400] - Brooke Awesome. Thank you. So how can people work with you these days?   [00:13:14.880] - Janice So having said that email is my choice communication. People message me on Facebook and I'm like "I'm not on here." I even have a message on my Facebook page if you message it says "Hi I'm out helping other introverts, I check this maybe twice a day, email me." Email me at: Janice@thecareerintrovert.com you can find me at thecareerintrovert.com,  Facebook: careerintrovert, LinkedIn: Janicethecareerintrovert anything careerintrovert appart from like Snapchat, I'm there. The best way to contact me is email though and if you want to work with me this is what I do. I help people launch their podcast, less overwhelmed with goals, with systems workflows. Because one thing about podcasting is you want to be consistent and the only way not the only way but my way of doing that. There's many ways to do. The thing is to have systems and workflows in place and obviously record in advance so you have a batch of stuff so that you can still live your life and it fits in with your lifestyle. I had someone ask in my group the other day "why are your podcast episodes so short" and I was like "because it fits in with my personality which is short and sweet." It fits in with my lifestyle. I travel a lot so I need to batch record and I'm going to do that like five minutes here five minutes there and then be done with it. I didn't want to spend a lot of time editing there were lists of things I didn't want to do. So that's how my podcast is the way it is. So I help you with all that I help you with workflows, I help you with systems, I help you with your goals and making sure they're in line with your business and your podcast and all that good stuff. That's pretty much it, amplify your voice. Mainly introverts but I also work with extroverts because I like people.   [00:14:52.820] - Brooke I was going to ask you where can people follow you. But you kind of answered all that in the first question as well. I would probably say because your a podcaster the best way to kind of get to know you and follow your work is probably through your podcast.   [00:15:04.020] - Janice Oh yeah.   [00:15:04.900] - Brooke So all of this information is going to be below in the show notes: where to find her, how you can work with her and all of that. You don't have to go find your pen and paper right now. I believe that is it Miss Janice, I think we answered all the questions I have written down here.   [00:15:18.530] - Janice Thank you.   [00:15:19.530] - Brooke All right Pop Tarts that is all for this week. Remember send in your thoughts, your feedback, your ideas, your questions and your drink of choice whether it be alcoholic or nonalcoholic. And be sure to send in the recipes so you can be featured on the show. And don't forget to subscribe. So you can be around for when I feature you on the show and to get some good content.

Welcome to Motherhood Reimagined, the podcast that helps women who are choosing single motherhood to find a community and helpful resources to prepare for unconventional paths to motherhood. My guest today is Janice Held, she is an architect who decided to conceive a child via a sperm and egg donor. Janice shares how her thinking changed during the donor process and how she soldiered on even when things didn’t go smoothly. We discuss her expectations of motherhood and the misconceptions that held her back from taking the donor path. We also cover the importance of having a support system during the donor process. Janice shares a very uplifting and all too common experience. The largest lesson I think listeners can take away from this episode is, listen to yourself, connect with yourself and do what you feel is best for you. Some highlights of today’s conversation: Janice’s early years and original plans for motherhood. What led to her decision to use both sperm and egg donor? Why Janice wanted to carry her own child. The fears and bias that kept Janice moving forward in the process. How she overcame those fears and bias. How meditation helped Janice to cope with the donor process.How Janice feels about having had a child at an older age. The importance of listening to yourself and knowing what you want. The new definition of family and how society is adjusting.
